Forced Labor Continues in Colorado, Years After Vote to End Prison Slaveryboltsmag.org Coloradans voted in 2018 to amend their state constitution to ban forced labor in prison. Years later, incarcerated people are still being punished for refusing work assignments.

There's another word for 'forced labour', ugh it's on the tip of my tongue. Avery? Mavery? Bavery?

This is what the Grants Pass ruling by SCOTUS is looking to supercharge.

Good on Abron for sticking to his guns, and having an interest in physiks to boot. Dude sounds like an interesting kat. Anyway, if there's an amendment that needs to be repealed it would be the 13th, which allows that prison slavery fuckery

Not repealed but amended so that the "except as punishment for a crime" clause is removed.

Okay

13th amendment

I mean, abolished slavery in theory but kept it in practice 😂😂😂😂
